About に伴って・に伴い

When the う-Verb (ともな)う 'to accompany' in its て-form is used with に and attached to the end of nouns or verbs in their dictionary forms, it is regularly translated as 'due to (A), (B)', 'hand in hand with (A), (B)', or 'along with (A), (B)'. In all of these meanings, the base interpretation of 'to accompany' is being highlighted.

As 'accompanying' does not specifically indicate that (A) is controlling (B), this grammar structure may be used simply to indicate things that happen at the same time, rather than when something is being directly caused by the first. However, (A) having a strong influence on the change of (B) is usually implied.

(ともな) may also appear directly before another noun when it is being modified by the verb.

(ともな)って is used both for events that are progressively changing at the same time, and momentary events that cause a sudden change.
